[Intro]
Em C     D Em
     Yeah
                           Em            C                                                  D Em
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
Em                                           C
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
                      D        Em                                    C
Straighten up little soldier, stiffen up that upper lip
                               D              Em
What you crying about? You got me

[Verse 1]
Em                                                        C
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
D                                                               Em
Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
Em                                                   C
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
D                                      Em
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
Em                      
Cause you're scared, I ain't there?
C
Daddy's with you in your prayers
D                                                       Em
No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares
Em                                              C
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it'
D                                                             Em
Laney uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
Em                                        C
We're all we got in this world when it spins, when it swirls
D                                   Em
When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls
Em                                        C
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusing you
D                                           Em
Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the news
Em                                      C
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
D                                                         Em
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
Em                                            C
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
D                                                  Em
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
Em                                                  C
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
                                     D                                       Em
But things have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever again
C                                                    D
Like we used to be when we were teenagers
Em                                                                                                                 C
But then of course everything always happens for a reason, I guess it was never meant to be
                                          D                                         Em
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
Em                                          C
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
D                                                                  Em
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[Chorus]
Em                              C
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
D                             Em
Everything's gonna be alright
                         Em                                    C
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
             D                              Em
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
                                  Em                                         C
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
D                        Em
We fear how we feel inside
                                 Em              C
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
                            D             Em
But I promise momma's gon' be alright

[Verse 2]

It's funny
Em                             C
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
D                                                    Em
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree
Em                                                                 C
And said some of 'em were from me, cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
D                                               Em
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
                          Em                  C
Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
                   D               Em
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
                     Em              C
And at the time every house that we lived in
                                      D                Em
Either kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
Em                     C
And your mom was saving money for you in a jar
D                                                Em
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
Em                                           C
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
D                                           Em
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
Em                                                C
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
D                                  Em
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back
Em                                      C
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
D                                                 Em
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
Em                               C
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD
D                                        Em
And met Dr. Dre and flew you and momma out to see me
Em                                       C
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
D                             Em
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V.
Em                                         C
And momma didn't like it and you and Laney were to young to understand it
D                                             Em
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
Em                              C
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
D                                    Em
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
Em                                             C
Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
D                                          Em
Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
Em                                    C
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
D                                  Em
To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
Em                                  C                       D
Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
                                 Em
Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
Em                             C                               D
I like the sound of that, yeah, it's got a ring to it don't it?
                      Em
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[Kembali ke Chorus]

                                    Em                                 C
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
D                            Em
I'mma give you the world
                             Em                           C
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you, I'mma sing for you
                                D                     Em
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
                                   Em                  C
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
D                                   Em
I'mma break that birdies neck
                                 Em                           C
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
                                              D                 Em
And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
